The dashing NickS has one, sure he'll be along soon. Leave a trail of Werthers out for him...

I had one of the middle ones....
It was my first car....
Bought it out of a barn with 60K miles on it in 1992. Fixed the body/interior. Painted it midnight blue with black top. Dropped a 440 six pack in it.
Awesome car.
Do not have the guitar through.

Robvon has one. It's not original, but he had the body made and I believe it's 24" scale.

Devi Ever owns one, but I don't think she posts here.

She did show up when people were talking about the fleeing crowd on the Godzilla pedals art that one time. Didn't stick around though.

The one I have is a reproduction with a few changes that make it more practical for me to play. It's got a NOHO body, 24" scale, a Toronado string through bridge and the pickup was moved from the neck to the bridge position.

That is far nicer than most of them. Colour is very cool.rodvonbon wrote:

Any chance I could a body trace of your Swinger? Is that a modified Mustang pickguard? How thick is the body?rodvonbon wrote:The one I have is a reproduction with a few changes that make it more practical for me to play.

I might be able to do a tracing and save it as a PDF file, but it wouldn't have any of the routes (only the outline). The pickguard was made for the guitar and I also have a bronco style guard for it too. The body is the same thickness as an Mustang.taylornutt wrote:Any chance I could a body trace of your Swinger?

What years were these made?

If you could get me the outline, I could use my Musicmaster guitar and my Mustangs body/templates to figure out the rest. How do you convert the physical tracing to a PDF that prints to the correct scale?rodvonbon wrote:I might be able to do a tracing and save it as a PDF file, but it wouldn't have any of the routes (only the outline).

I just recently got a Jag-stang template that's just an outline.
